GLADSTONE'S CANES.

Tecui'Ar SOiiectlOn OF "alktng-S sticks
Priced by he Great Commoner.
During a visit to Hawarden, Mr..
Willis, while in the library, said that
he had promised his wife to try and
induce Mr.. Gladstone to part with a
walking-stick, that he might carry it
off rs a souvenir of the day. The great
chief smiled, and, going to a corner,
produced thick, serviceable baton:
Il can not give you this" he said, look
Ing at it as if it were an old friend; II
bought it tive-and-twenty years ago at
mentioning some Gaelic place ending
in teccba,s- it has been many a
mile with me since" I at once thought
/ could recognize it as the famous
''piece of timber lost by DR.. johnson
more than a century ago in the Hebri-
des, and about which he made Boswell
so miserable. ''You will get it again,
sir. said Jamie; lit can not have been
srolen.'' II don't know as to that. SIR
Numbered the photographer. "Con-
slider the temptation it must have
been. 1t is the only piece Of timber
on these islands" And so pleased
was the great Sam with his
joke that it restored him to
equanimity and good humor. But to re-
turn to Hawarden. Mrs. Gladstone
was despatched to bring in an assort-
ment of walking-sticks, and soon reap
peared with some that were marvels OF
eccentricity. mo, my DEAR he ex-
claimed, mot these. They are eccen-
trio. They will be recognized. They
we're given to me. lean not give away
What were given to me- Mrs. Glad
stone explained that they were only
brought for inspection rs curiosities,
ind that more sticks were coming.
Meanwhile we inspected those that
we're brought. One of them, of light
colored wood, consisted of curious coils
and convolutions, and looked like the
mblem associated with Esculapius.
the son of Apollo and Coronis. whom
Chiron taught the art of healing; or
like the caduceus of Hermes Another
was carved like Gothic scepter, and,
turning it about, read aloud the le-
gend that ran twining around its length
Home Rule for Scotland. This ar
rested Mr.. Gladstone's attention. and
he slowly re-read it 'Well,n he at
length observed, whatever the Scotch
make up their mind to ask for they will
get" And then he added: ..But [ don't
think they will want much.'' By this
time other sticks were brought, but, il
possible, still more grotesque. One
looked as if it had tumbled down and
broken its knee, which had reset itself
with the most hideous excresences.
mo, NOT cried our host; mot that
either, my dear. That was only given
me last week. And then setting of
with the air Of man who is convinced
that if the right thing is to be done one
must so and do it himself, he left thu
room.-Pall Mall Gazette.

DECORATION or HOMES.
- Invaluablo Eject ON the Minds OF BOZ
and HlSvHa.

% Invaiuabls Eject on the Minds OF Beya
and Girls.
The growth of desire to decorate
aoines and make them attractive indi-
Gates the cultivation in the people Of
an appreciation Of the beautiful
Beauty consists of those outward
qualities Of an object the contempla-
ton of which affords us pleasure. Per-
feet taste, according to Ruskin, is 1.-THE
faculty Of receiving the greatest amount
Of pleasure from those material sources
which are attractive to our moral ma
tnre in its purity and perfection" The
object appears beautiful because its
outward qualities are in harmony with
moral purity and perfection. For this
reason in him whose moral nature is
depraved the appreciation of the beanti-
full is defective. There is not that in
him which responds to those qualities
Of an object by which the pure heart
sees it to be beautiful.
a man may not be able to see the
beauty in an object, because Of some
defect in his eyesight, as for instance
one who is color blind must remain in
ignorance of much of the beauty which
an object derives from its coloring.
But. apart from such physical defects
as this, a good taste may be cultivated
in person of ordinary intellectual
capacity if he have the pure moral ma
ture-the love Of moral beauty-which
is essential as the foundation.
The converse of this is also true,
that by surrounding person, and
more especially child, with objects
which true taste pronounces to be
beautiful, his moral nature will be re-
ined and elevated. 1t is for this
reason that it is a matter for rejoicing
that there is a growing disposition to
decorate the honses which are the
homes of families. Houses which are
made attractive in this way have a
purer and more elevating moral at
mOsphere than those in which bleak,
bare walls stare all day at the little
ones, chilling their hearts and prevent
ing the seeds of love and truth and
righteousness of life from growing and
and developing as they should.
The effect of such improved homes
is seen also in the public works. in the
outward appearance of the houses and
in the streets of a city. When the peo-
pie love that which is beautiful and
show it by decorating the interior of
their houses, they will also endeavor
that the like pleasing qualities shall
appear in those objects which are for
the public gaze. Their influence will
be felt in the adoption of pure styles
of architecture. Statues and monu-
ments will adorn the streets and the
public parks, and they will be erected
in accordance with good taste.
The mother who decorates the home
of her children in accordance with
the demands of a cultivated taste may
feel that in doing so she is doing God
service. She is training her little ones
to love the beautiful in material OBJ
jects; and thus she stimulates the
development of moral purity and per-
fection in their hearts. She trains
them to lead right lives, to become
good citizens, to become true and
noble men and pure. tender-hearted and
loving women.-Denver Republican,

it is mistaken course and will not avail.
